Hi all! I’m on a city-sized ship floating around the North Pacific right now. So instead of new news, I’ll share a new article and some other recent articles you may have missed.
Adobe employees are worried that the software behemoth is introducing AI tools that will cost graphic designers their careers. I dig into why this might be happening in my latest blog post. Gartner recently released its Hype Cycle for Artificial Intelligence. If you want to see where generative AI landing and where it's going, read my recap. The thing to remember about business leaders is they are driven by metrics. In a way, we're all driven by metrics (how much money did you make last month, what are your bills this month?). But in business, leaders are responsible for looking at those same questions on a much larger scale. If you're a designer, it's harder to present quantitative data to show your value. Harder, but not impossible. In this blog post, I outline some stats that you can pre-emptively show to your leadership to show how the work you provide adds value to the business. Gartner issued another report recently on the impact generative AI will have on jobs. I gave my thoughts on it here. Employers and clients demand the absolute best design work ... unless they're the ones doing the work. Or they can save a few bucks. For many companies, "good enough" will be enough. Read about how this can be bad for designers.
